Title:  Cough Cool / She

Artist: The Misfits

Label: Blank 101/102; 1977 Original Black Vinyl

Condition:  Visually, the vinyl is VG+, with a few, small light marks, one of which causes a series of several light tics at the beginning of "Cough/Cool," but otherwise both sides play very well, with no skips, and sound great. The labels on both sides are very clean, as you can see from the scan. The picture sleeve is an original, with some condition problems, namely 3" seam splits on each side, some light bends and ring wear both front and back, including bending and a little tearing along the very top edges, general ring and edge wear. There is also a 4" split in the bottom seam and a couple of tears on the back bottom edge. The third scan above shows another tear along the bottom edge, where the torn piece is still (barely) attached, and folded upwards, and the fourth scan shows the torn piece folded back down into its original position. There is another tiny tear on the back bottom seam right next to it, also visible in the scan. So, basically the sleeve could be a lot better but it could also be repaired to decent effect. Also, it is an original, and it's still generally intact. And, needless to say, upgrading a sleeve this rare would not be easy. I know that good bootlegs of this record exist, so I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have about the condition or details of the sleeve or the record. But, please ask questions prior to bidding.

Comments:  Nice copy of this extremely rare first single by The Misfits. Dead Wax: Side A: "A-101 Rich Spectrum B'Klyn, N.Y." Side B: "B-102  Rich" Check my other auctions for comparable rare records, and thanks for looking. Due to the rarity of this item I have listed it with a reasonable reserve.

If you place a bid on this item, you agree to the following terms. Please read them carefully, and ask any questions before bidding. I will respond promptly.

Payment:  Paypal only. Do not send payment until you receive our invoice, which we will send soon after the auction ends. This is especially important for international customers, who must pay for registered mail on items which sell for more than $100. Payment must be received within seven days. A non-paying bidder alert is filed automatically on day eight.   

Packing/Shipping:  I pack all records in sturdy cardboard record mailers, with cardboard flats or bubble wrap, which provides excellent protection for your purchases.  Records are removed from their sleeves/ jackets to prevent damage in transit. As a record collector myself, I understand the importance of packing securely. My previous feedback verifies this claim. 

All items are shipped within two business days of receipt of payment, and I will notify you when I ship your item. Please notify me of any problems with your transaction, and I will try to resolve them within the guidelines below.

Grading:  As my feedback indicates, I grade records professionally and accurately, according to Goldmine standards. I play grade all records which look to be in less than Mint-Minus condition, which means that any visual defects will be noted and that the record's playability will be accurately and specifically described.  It is possible, though unusual, for a record which grades M- visually to play below that grade, in which case, you may certainly return it according to the policy below.  

Return Policy: If you are not satisfied with your purchase, I accept returns on all items I sell (except sealed LPs which the buyer has opened), and I issue refunds according to the following policy: You pay (non-refundable) return postage and mail the item back to me within one week after receiving it.  When I receive your return, in the condition in which I originally mailed it to you, I will issue an immediate refund through Paypal.  I will refund both the cost of the item and the buyer's original postage cost.

Feedback: I post feedback for all buyers as soon as I receive theirs.

Postage: The following rates are for single items, so multiple items will require additional postage as indicated below.

Delivery confirmation, with signature confirmation and insurance required on more expensive items, will be included in the $4.00 shipping cost at my discretion. 

International Shipping Costs:
